Horror Folklore Tale

Such a great atmosphere already in this film's opening makes hope to ready yourself for who knows what type of evil madness to befall our characters.There is a generous amount of shamanism and ritualistic happenings, so early on that you can speculate that things are going to get weird, wild, and crazy soon.The darkness is making its move. Things look terribly terribly bad for our characters in their paths. The light must find a way to defeat the onslaught of evil, or there will be death and mayhem.

A parody disguised as horror

There are films marketed as horror that, from the very first scene, you know aren't going in that direction. Legions is exactly that: a product that tries to sneak into the genre with demons and possessions, but ends up feeling more like a silly comedy than anything else. The script is childish, full of clumsy situations that never create fear or tension, more like sketches stretched out far too long.The biggest issue is that, while Argentinian horror cinema has delivered some surprises recently, here everything feels repetitive and lifeless. There's no atmosphere, no suspense, nothing that keeps you on edge. Instead of building terror from its premise, the film throws in jokes that don't land and humor that doesn't fit the tone it pretends to have.Attempts to mix gore with comedy only highlight how weak the whole thing is. The CGI is poor, the practical effects don't impress, and what could have worked as satire ends up sinking into the ridiculous. Even the father-daughter relationship that tries to bring some humanity falls flat, staying superficial and never truly moving.In short, Legions is a failed attempt at horror: neither scary nor funny. A careless mix that proves catching up with these kinds of releases can feel more like a punishment than a pleasure.

Bad

An Argentinian horror experience with impressive practical effects but can't say the same about the visual effects. As a stranger to the Argentinian storytelling I couldn't vibe with this film. The film trailer looked interesting that's why I decided to give it a shot.An Argentinian horror experience with impressive practical effects but can't say the same about the visual effects.
